This contemporary musical comedy opens on the glamorous French Riviera, where we meet two competing
con men that decide the town just isn't big enough for them both. So, they make a bet: the first one to swindle
$50,000 from a young female heiress wins, but the loser must leave town. A hilarious battle ensues
bringing out the best - and the worst - in both men. Let the con begin!
